System email notifications. Should we still be sending a plain text equivalent with HTML or is that antiquated now? For B2B messages, it's going to be mainly Outlook and Gmail, isn't it?

Yesterday my horror show was #SOAP, today it's gonna be HTML email

And again,
I really can't understand what the point of adding
style="overflow-y: hidden;"
to HTML emails is. It just means that it won't scroll in probably anything but web mail.
This is just pure hostile design (in this case it's a response to a complaint which just rubs it in...)
Reminds me of https://www.litmus.com/email-templates
Creating HTML mail that works for every client is just a nightmarish hellscape.
If the content doesn't fit in the free templates, then the problem is with the content.
I've been visiting https://www.caniemail.com/ WAAAAAYYY to much over these last couple of days.
I don't want to deal with HTML e-mail anymore. Can't I just become a stroopwafel seller in Seoul (or Jakarta), a woodworker or a farmer ?

A perfect example why I refuse to use #HTMLemail. My father spotted this email (he's the treasurer for Brisbane WICEN) and noticed the odd figure.
K9-mail would only show the HTML version, which made the scam look _very_ authentic.
I hit the 3 dots and forwarded it as an attachment to my own email address to have a good look. Thunderbird's #PlainTextEmail view laid bare the scam.
'Kobold Letters', a great piece by @weddige on the dangers of HTML email, regardless of viewing method https://lutrasecurity.com/en/articles/kobold-letters
I just republished an old favourite from the dead CoActivate version of the #Disintermedia blog. The hardy annual about about why sending HTML as email is a bad idea:

Now that I've got 3 proper pieces posted (not including the intro) in under a month, I feel confident to turn on the thing that allows paid subscribers (hint, hint!).
